(1)	This information relates to annual cash incentive award opportunities with respect to fiscal 2023 performance. Amounts actually earned under the annual cash incentive awards are reported in the Summary Compensation Table under the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column.
(2)	“Equity Incentive Plan Awards” are PSUs granted during the fiscal year under our 2021 LTIP. PSUs are eligible to vest after a three-year performance period based on (i) the sum of non-GAAP diluted EPS CAGR and average annual dividend yield, (ii) cost savings, and (iii) an Our Path Forward measure, with a modifier based on TSR relative to the S&P 500 Health Care Index. PSUs accrue cash dividend equivalents that are payable when, and only to the extent that, the PSUs vest.
(3)	“All Other Stock Awards” are RSUs granted during the fiscal year under our 2021 LTIP that vest ratably over three years and accrue cash dividend equivalents that are payable when, and only to the extent that, the RSUs vest.
(4)	We valued PSUs using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date. The Monte Carlo model applies a risk-free interest rate and expected volatility assumptions. The risk-free interest rate is assumed to equal the yield on U.S. Treasury bonds on the grant date with remaining terms consistent with the remaining performance measurement period. Expected volatility is based on the average of historical volatility over a look-back period commensurate with the remaining performance measurement period ending on the grant date and the implied volatility from exchange-traded options as of the grant date. The assumed per-share value was $77.13 for the PSUs granted on August 15, 2022 and September 15, 2022, using a risk-free rate of 3.12% and expected volatility of 32.41%, and $88.50 for the PSUs granted on February 15, 2023, using a risk-free rate of 4.47% and expected volatility of 26.81%. We valued RSUs by multiplying the closing price of our common shares on the NYSE on the grant date by the number of RSUs awarded. Accounting values differ from the compensation values of PSU and RSU awards discussed in the CD&A.
(5)	Mr. Hollar received an additional accounting value of $1,653,513 of PSUs and an additional accounting value of $1,500,017 of RSUs in connection with his appointment to CEO.
(6)	Mr. Alt received these PSUs and RSUs when he joined us as CFO. His sign-on bonus and initial long-term incentive awards were intended to address compensation forfeited at his former employer.
(7)	Ms. Weitzman received these PSUs in connection with her promotion to CEO, Pharmaceutical Segment.
(8)	Mr. Kaufmann received a prorated portion of his fiscal 2023 annual incentive award as a benefit under the Severance Plan.
(9)	Ms. English received an additional accounting value of $551,171 of PSUs in connection with her appointment to Interim CFO.
(10)	Mr. Crawford received a prorated portion of his fiscal 2023 annual incentive award as a benefit under the Severance Plan. He forfeited the PSU and RSU awards when he departed the company on November 13, 2022 since they were not outstanding for at least six months, which was required to receive retirement treatment of long-term incentive awards.
